If the sum of the areas of two circles with radii R1 and R2 is equal to the area of a circle of radius R, then
A. R1 + R2 = R
B. R1 + (R2)2 = R2
C. R1 + R2 < R
B. R1 + (R2)2 < R2
We are given that
Area of circle = Area of first circle + Area of second circle
∴ πR2 = πR12 + πR22
⇒ R2 = R12 + R22
∴ option B is correct.
If the sum of the circumferences of two circles with radii R1 and R2 is equal to the circumference of a circle of radius R, then
A. R1 + R2 = R
B. R1 + R2 > R
C. R1 + R2 < R
D. Nothing definite can be said about the relation among R1, R2 and R.
We are given that
Circumference of circle with radius R = Circumference of first circle with radius R1 + Circumference of second circle with radius R2
∴ 2πR = 2πR1+ 2πR2
⇒ R = R1+ R2
∴ option A is correct.
If the circumference of a circle and the perimeter of a square are equal, then
A. Area of the circle = Area of the square
B. Area of the circle > Area of the square
C. Area of the circle < Area of the square
D. Nothing definite can be said about the relation between the areas of the circle and square
We are given that
Circumference of a circle = Perimeter of square
Let r be the radius of the circle and a be the side of square.
∴ from the given condition, we have 2π r = 4a
(22/7)r = 2a
⇒ 11r = 7a
⇒ a = (11/7)a
⇒ r = (7/11)a …………..(i)
Now, area of circle = A1 = πr2 and area of square = A2 = a2
From equation (i ), we have
A1 = π × (7/11)2
= (22/7) × (49/121)a2
= (14/11)a2 and A2 = a2
∴ A1 = (14/11) A2
⇒ A1 > A2
Hence, Area of the circle > Area of the square.

A. r2 sq units
B. (1/2)r2 sq. units
C. 2r2 sq units
D.
A largest triangle that can be inscribed in a semi-circle of radius r units is the triangle having its base as the diameter of the semi-circle and the two other sides are taken by considering a point C on the circumference of the semi-circle and joining it by the end points of diameter A and B.
∴ ∠ C = 90° (by the properties of circle)
So, ΔABC is right angled triangle with base as diameter AB of the circle and height be CD.
Height of the triangle = r
∴ Area of largest ΔABC = (1/2)× Base × Height = (1/2)× AB × CD
= (1/2)× 2r × r = r2 sq. units

B. 14:11
C. 7:22
D. 11:14
Let r be the radius of the circle and a be the side of the square.
We are given that Perimeter of a circle = Perimeter of a square
⇒ 2πr = 4a
⇒ a = πr/2
Area of the circle = r2 and Area of the square = a2
Now, Ratio of their areas = (Area of circle)/(Area of square)
=

A. 10 m
B. 15 m
C. 20 m
D. 24 m
Let D1 be the diameter of the first circular park = 16m
∴ Radius R1 of first circular park = 8m
Let D2 be the diameter of the second circular park = 12m
∴ Radius R2 of second circular park = 6m
Area of first circular park = πr2 = π(8)2 = 64 π m2
Area of second circular park = πr2 = π(6)2 = 36 π m2
Now, we are given that,
Area of single circular park = Area of first circular park + Area of second circular park
∴ πR2 = 64 π + 36π = 100π
(where R is the radius of the single circular park)
πR2 = 100π ⇒ R2 = 100 ⇒ R = 10
∴ Radius of the single circular park will be 10m.

A. 36π cm2
B. 18π cm2
C. 12π cm2
D. 9π cm2
Let a be the side of square = 6 cm
∴ Diameter of a circle = Side of square = 6 cm
∴ Radius of the circle = Diameter/2 = 3 cm
∴ Area of the circle = πr2 = π(3)2 = 9π cm2
The area of the square that can be inscribed in a circle of radius 8 cm is
A. 256 cm2
B. 128 cm2
C.
D. 64 cm2
Let r be the radius of circle = OC = 8 cm.
∴ Diameter of the circle = AC = 2 × OC = 2 × 8 = 16 cm
Let a be the side of the square.
Now, according to the given condition,
Diagonal of square = Diameter of the circle.
Now in right angled triangle ACB,
(AC)2 = (AB)2 + (BC)2
(By Pythagoras theorem)
(16)2 = a2 + a2
⇒ 256 = 2a2
⇒ a2 = 128
∴ Area of the square = a2 = 128 cm2

A. 56 cm
B. 42 cm
C. 28 cm
D. 16 cm
Diameter of first circle = d1 = 36 cm
Diameter of second circle = d2 = 20 cm
∴ Circumference of first circle = πd1 = 36π cm
Circumference of second circle = πd2 = 20π cm
Now, we are given that,
Circumference of circle = Circumference of first circle + Circumference of second circle
πD = πd1 + πd2
⇒ πD = 36π + 20π
⇒ πD = 56π
⇒ D = 56
⇒ Radius = 56/2 = 28 cm
The diameter of a circle whose area is equal to the sum of the areas of the two circles of radii 24 cm and 7 cm is
A. 31 cm
B. 25 cm
C. 62 cm
D. 50 cm
Area of first circle = πr2 = π(24)2 = 576π m2
Area of second circle = πr2 = π(7)2 = 49π m2
Now, we are given that,
Area of the circle = Area of first circle + Area of second circle
∴ πR2 = 576π +49π
(where, R is the radius of the new circle)
⇒ πR2 = 625π
⇒ R2 = 625
⇒ R = 25
∴ Radius of the circle = 25cm
Thus, diameter of the circle = 2R = 50 cm.
Is the area of the circle inscribed in a square of side a cm, πa2cm2? Give reasons for your answer.
False
Let a be the side of square.
We are given that the circle is inscribed in the square.
∴ Diameter of circle = Side of square = a
∴ Radius of the circle = a/2
Area of the circle = πr2 = π(a/2)2 = (πa2)/4 cm2
Hence, area of the circle is (πa2)/4 cm2
Will it be true to say that the perimeter of a square circumscribing a circle of radius a cm is 8a cm? Give reason for your answer.
True
Let r be the radius of circle = a cm
∴ Diameter of the circle = d = 2 × Radius = 2a cm
As the circle is inscribed in the square, therefore,
Side of a square = Diameter of circle = 2a cm
Hence, Perimeter of a square = 4 × (side) = 4 × 2a = 8a cm
In figure, a square is inscribed in a circle of diameter d and another square is circumscribing the circle. Is the area of the outer square four times the area of the inner square? Give reason for your answer.
False
Diameter of the circle = d
Therefore,
Diagonal of inner square EFGH = Side of the outer square ABCD = Diameter of circle = d
Let side of inner square EFGH be a
Now in right angled triangle EFG,
(EG)2 = (EF)2 + (FG)2
By Pythagoras theorem)
⇒ d2 = a2 +a2
⇒ d2 = 2a2
⇒ a2 = d2/2
∴ Area of inner circle = a2 = d2/2
Also, Area of outer square = d2
∴ the area of the outer circle is only two times the area of the inner circle.
Thus, area of outer square is not equal to four times the area of the inner square.
Is it true to say that area of segment of a circle is less than the area of its corresponding sector? Why?
False
It is not true because in case of major segment, area is always greater than the area of its corresponding sector. It is true only in the case of minor segment.
Is it true that the distance travelled by a circular wheel of diameter d cm in one revolution is 2πd. Why?
False
The distance travelled by a circular wheel of radius r in one revolution is equal to the circumference of the circle.
Also, circumference of the circle = 2πd; where d is the diameter of the circle.
In covering a distance s m, a circular wheel of radius r m makes revolution. Is this statement true? Why?
True
The distance travelled by a circular wheel of radius r m in one revolution is equal to the circumference of the circle = 2πr
∴ No. of revolutions completed in 2πr m distance = 1
No. of revolutions completed in 1 m distance = (1/2πr)
No. of revolutions completed in s m distance = (1/2πr) × s
The numerical value of the area of a circle is greater than the numerical value of its circumference. Is this statement true? Why?
False
Let r be the radius of the circle.
Area of the circle = πr2
Circumference of the circle = 2πr
Both are equal only when r = 2 and numerical value of circumference is greater than numerical value of area of circle when 0 < r < 2 and if r > 2, then numerical value of area of circle is greater than the numerical value of the circumference of the circle.
If the length of an arc of a circle of radius r is equal to that of an arc of a circle of radius 2r, then the angle of the corresponding sector of the first circle is double the angle of the corresponding sector of the other circle. Is this statement false? Why?
True.
Let P and Q be two circles with radius r and 2r respectively. Let C1 and C2 be the centers of the circles P and Q respectively.
Let AB be the arc length of P and CD be the arc length of Q
Let θ1 and θ2 be the angle subtended by the arc AB and CD respectively on the center.
Given that AB = CD = l (say)
Now, arc length
CD = = l
∴ from the above two equations, we get
⇒ θ1 = 2θ2
∴ Angle of the corresponding sector of the first circle is double the angle of the corresponding sector of the other circle.
The area of two sectors of two different circles with equal corresponding arc lengths are equal. Is this statement true? Why?
False
The statement is false because the area of a sector of a circle = (1/2)r2θ, where r is the radius and θ the angle in radians subtended by the arc at the center of the circle. It does not depend on the arc length.
The areas of two sectors of two different circles are equal. Is it necessary that their corresponding arc lengths are equal? Why?
False
Area of first sector = (1/2)(r1)2θ1 ,
where r1 is the radius,
θ1 is the angle in radians subtended by the arc at the center of the circle.
Area of second sector = (1/2)(r2)2θ2,
where r2 is the radius,
θ2 is the angle in radians subtended by the arc at the center of the circle.
Given that: (1/2)(r1)2θ1 = (1/2)(r2)2θ2
⇒ (r1)2θ1 = (r2)2θ2
It depends on both radius and angle subtended at the center. But arc length only depends on radius of the circle. Therefore, it is not necessary that the corresponding arc lengths are equal. It is possible only if corresponding angles are equal (because then, the corresponding radii will be equal and hence the arc lengths will be equal).
Is the area of the largest circle that can be drawn inside a rectangle of length a cm and breadth b cm (a > b) is πb2cm? Why?
False
The largest circle that can be drawn inside a rectangle is possible when rectangle becomes a square.
∴ Diameter of the circle = Breadth of the rectangle = b
∴ Radius of the circle = b/2
Hence area of the circle = πr2 = π(b/2)2
Circumference of two circles are equal. Is it necessary that their areas be equal? Why?
True
We are given that
Circumference of circle with radius R1 = Circumference of circle with radius R2
⇒ 2πR1= 2πR2
⇒ R1= R2
⇒ π(R1)2 = π(R2)2
and hence the areas are also equal.
Areas of two circles are equal. Is it necessary that their circumferences are equal? Why?
True
We are given that
Area of circle with radius R1 = Area of circle with radius R2
⇒ π(R1)2 = π(R2)2
⇒ R1= R2
⇒ 2πR1= 2πR2, and hence the circumferences are also equal.
Is it true to say that area of a square inscribed in a circle of diameter p cm is p2 cm2? Why?
False
When the square is inscribed in the circle, the diameter of a circle is equal to the diagonal of a square but not the side of the square.
Let side of square = a
∴ p2= a2 +a2
⇒ p2= 2a2
⇒ a2 = p2/2
Hence area of square = a2 = p2/2
Find the radius of a circle whose circumference is equal to the sum of the circumference of two circles of radii 15 cm and 18 cm.
Radius of first circle = r1 = 15 cm
Radius of second circle = r2 = 18 cm
∴ Circumference of first circle = 2πr1 = 30π cm
Circumference of second circle = 2πr2 = 36π cm
Let R be the radius of the circle.
Now, we are given that,
Circumference of circle = Circumference of first circle + Circumference of second circle
2πR= 2πr1+ 2πr2
⇒ 2πR = 30π + 36π
⇒ 66π ⇒ R = 33
⇒ Radius = 33 cm
Hence, required radius of a circle is 33 cm.
In figure, a square of diagonal 8 cm is inscribed in a circle. Find the area of the shaded region.
Let a be the side of square.
∴ Diameter of a circle = Diagonal of the square = 8 cm
Now in right angled triangle ABC,
(AC)2 = (AB)2 + (BC)2
(By Pythagoras theorem)
∴ (8)2= a2 +a2
⇒ 64= 2a2
⇒ a2= 32
Hence area of square = a2= 32 cm2
∴ Radius of the circle = Diameter/2 = 4 cm
∴ Area of the circle = πr2 = π(4)2 = 16 cm2
So, the area of the shaded region = Area of circle – Area of square
∴ the area of the shaded region = 16π – 32
= 16 × (22/7) – 32
= 128/7
= 18.286 cm2
Find the area of a sector of a circle of radius 28 cm and central angle 45°.
Area of a sector of a circle = (1/2)r2θ,
where r is the radius and,
θ the angle in radians subtended by the arc at the center of the circle
Here, Radius of circle = 28 cm
Angle subtended at the center = 45°
Angle subtended at the center (in radians) = θ 45π/180 = π/4
∴ Area of a sector of a circle =
=
= 308 cm2
Hence, the required area of a sector of a circle is 308 cm2.
The wheel of a motor cycle is of radius 35 cm. How many revolutions per minute must the wheel make, so as to keep a speed of 66 km/h?
Radius of wheel = r = 35 cm
1 revolution of the wheel = Circumference of the wheel
= 2πr
= 2 × (22/7) × 35
= 220 cm
But Speed of the wheel = 66 km/hr
= cm/min
= 110000 cm/min
∴ Number of revolutions in 1 min = 110000/220 = 500
Hence, required number of revolutions per minute is 500.
A cow is tied with a rope of length 14 m at the corner of a rectangular field of dimensions 20 m × 16 m. Find the area of the field in which the cow can graze.
Let ABCD be a rectangular field.
Length of field = 20 m
Breadth of the field = 16 m
Suppose a cow is tied at a point A.
Let length of rope be AE = 14 m = l (say).
Angle subtended at the center of the sector = 90°
Angle subtended at the center (in radians) θ = 90π/180 = π/2
∴ Area of a sector of a circle
= 154 m2
Hence, the required area of a sector of a circle is 154 m2.
Find the area of the flower bed (with semi-circular ends) shown in figure.
Length and breadth of the rectangular portion AFDC of the flower bed are 38 cm and 10 cm respectively.
Area of the flower bed = Area of the rectangular portion + Area of the two semi-circles.
∴ Area of rectangle AFDC = Length × Breadth
= 38 × 10 = 380 cm2
Both ends of flower bed are semi-circle in shape.
∴ Diameter of the semi-circle = Breadth of the rectangle AFDC = 10 cm
∴ Radius of the semi circle = 10/2 = 5 cm
Area of the semi-circle = πr2/2 = 25π/2 cm2
Since there are two semi-circles in the flower bed,
∴ Area of two semi-circles = 2 × (πr2/2) = 25π cm2
Total area of flower bed = (380 + 25π) cm2
In figure, AB is a diameter of the circle, AC = 6 cm and BC = 8 cm. Find the area of the shaded region. (use π = 3.14)
Given, AC = 6cm and BC = 8 cm
A triangle in a semi-circle with hypotenuse as diameter is right angled triangle.
∴ In right angled triangle ACB,
(AB)2 = (AC)2 + (CB)2
(By Pythagoras theorem)
(AB)2 = (6)2 + (8)2
⇒(AB)2 = 36 + 64
⇒(AB)2 = 100 ⇒(AB)= 10
∴ Diameter of the circle = 10 cm
Thus, Radius of the circle = 5 cm
Area of circle = πr2
= π(5)2
= 25π cm2
= 25 × 3.14 cm2
= 78.5 cm2
Also, Area of the right angled triangle = (1/2) × Base × Height
= (1/2) × AC × CB
= (1/2) × 6 × 8 = 24 cm2
Now, Area of the shaded region = Area of the circle – Area of the triangle
= (78.5-24)cm2
= 54.5cm2
Find the area of the shaded field shown in figure.
We can clearly see that the figure comprises of a rectangle and a semi-circle.
Name the rectangle ABCD. Name the point where the
rectangle and the semi-circle meets as E.
Take any point F on the semi-circle, then we have
the semi-circle as EFD.
Now, area of the figure = Area of the semi-circle + Area of the rectangle.
Here, from the figure, Radius of the semi-circle = r = 6 - 4 = 2 m
∴ Area of the semi-circle = πr2/2 = 4π/2 = 2π
Also, area of the rectangle = Length × Breadth
= AB × BC
= 4 × 8 = 32 m2
∴Area of shaded region = Area of rectangle ABCD + Area of semi-circle DEF
= (32 +2π) m2
Find the area of the shaded region in figure.
Label the figure as above.
Area of the shaded region = Area of the rectangle ABCD – (Area of the rect. EFGH + (Area of the semi-circle EFJ +Area of the semi-circle GHI)
Length and breadth of outer rect. ABCD are 26 m and 12 m respectively.
∴ Area of the rect. ABCD = Length × Breadth
= AB × BC
= 26 × 12
= 312 m2
From the figure, length and breadth of inner rect. EFGH are (26-5-5) m and (12-4-4) m, i.e. 16 m and 4 m respectively.
∴ Area of the rect. EFGH = Length × Breadth
= EF × FG
= 16 × 4
= 64 m2
Breadth of the inner rectangle = Diameter of the semi-circle EJF = d = 4m
∴ Radius of semi-circle EJF = r = 2 m
Area of the semi-circle EFJ = Area of the semi-circle GHI
= πr2/2
= 4π/2
= 2π m2
∴ Area of shaded region = 312 – (64 + 2π + 2π)m2
= ( 248 – 4π ) m2
Find the area of the minor segment of a circle of radius 14 cm, when the angle of the corresponding sector is 60°.
Let r be the radius of the circle = 14 cm
Angle subtended at the center of the sector = θ = 60°
In triangle AOB, ∠AOB = 60°, ∠OAB = ∠OBA = θ
Since, sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180°
∴ θ + θ + 60 = 180
⇒ 2 θ = 120
⇒ θ = 60
∴ Each angle is of 60° and hence the triangle AOB is an equilateral triangle.
Now, Area of the minor segment = Area of the sector AOBC – Area of triangle AOB
Angle subtended at the center of the sector = 60°
Angle subtended at the center (in radians) = θ = 60π/100 = π/3
∴ Area of a sector of a circle = r2θ/2
=
= 308/3 cm2
Area of the equilateral triangle =
∴ Area of minor segment = = 17.796 cm2
Find the area of the shaded region in figure, where arcs drawn with centers A, B, C and D intersect in pairs at mid-point P, Q, R and S of the sides AB, BC, CD and DA, respectively of a square ABCD. (use π = 3.14)
Since P, Q, R and S divides AB, BC, CD and DA in half.
∴ AP = PB = BQ = QC = CR = RD = DS = SA = 6 cm.
Given, side of a square BC = 12 cm
Area of the square = 12 × 12 = 144 cm2
Area of the shaded region = Area of the square - (Area of the four quadrants)
Area of one quadrant = (π/4)×(Radius)2 = (3.14/4)× 36 = 113.04/4 cm2
Area of four quadrants = 113.04 cm2
Area of the shaded region = 144-113.04 = 30.96 cm2
In figure arcs are drawn by taking vertices A, B and C of an equilateral triangle of side 10 cm, to intersect the sides BC, CA and AB at their respective mid-points D, E and F. Find the area of the shaded region. (use π = 3.14)
Since D, E, F bisects BC, CA, AB respectively.
∴ AE = EC = CD = DB = BF = FA = 5 cm
Now area of the shaded region = (Area of the three sectors)
Since the triangle is an equilateral triangle, therefore each angle is of 60°
∴ Angle subtended at the center of each sector = 60°
Angle subtended at the center (in radians) = θ = 62π/180 = π/3
Radius of each sector = 5 cm
∴ Area of a sector of a circle
∴ Area of three sectors of a circle
= 78.5/2 cm2
= 39.25 cm2
∴ Area of shaded region = 39.25 cm2
In figure, arcs have been drawn with radii 14 cm each and with centers P, Q and R. Find the area of the shaded region.
Let r be the radius of each sector = 14 cm
Area of the shaded region = Area of the three sectors
Let angles subtended at P, Q, R be x°, y°, z° respectively.
Angle subtended at P, Q, R (in radians, (θ)) be respectively.
∴ Area of a sector with central angle at P
∴ Area of a sector with central angle at Q
∴ Area of a sector with central angle at R =
∴ Area of three sectors =
Since, sum of all interior angles in any triangle is 180°
∴ x + y + z = 180°
Thus, Area of three sectors = = 308 cm2
Hence, the required area of the shaded region is 308 cm2.
A circular park is surrounded by a road 21 m wide. If the radius of the park is 105 m, then find the area of the road.
Let r be the radius of the park = 105 m
Given that the circular park is surrounded by a road of width 21 m.
So, Radius of the outer circle = R = (105+21) m = 126 m
Area of the road = Area of the outer circle – Area of the circular park
= πr2 – πR2
=
=
= 15246 m2
Hence, the required area of the road is 15246 m2.
In figure, arcs have been drawn of radius 21 cm each with vertices A, B, C and D of quadrilateral ABCD as centers. Find the area of the shaded region.
Let r be the radius of each sector = 21 cm
Area of the shaded region = Area of the four sectors
Let angles subtended at A, B, C and D be x°, y°, z° and w° respectively.
Angle subtended at A, B, C, D (in radians, (θ)) be respectively.
∴ Area of a sector with central angle at A =
∴ Area of a sector with central angle at B
∴ Area of a sector with central angle at C
∴ Area of a sector with central angle at D
∴ Area of four sectors =
Since, sum of all interior angles in any quadrilateral is 360°
∴ x + y + z +w = 360°
Thus, Area of four sectors =
= 441π cm2
= 1386 cm2
Hence, required area of the shaded region is 1386 cm2.
The area of a circular playground is 22176 m2. Find the cost of fencing this ground at the rate of `50 per m.
Area of the circular playground = 22176 m2 (Given)
Let r be the radius of the circle.
∴ πr2 = 22176
⇒ (22/7)r2 = 22176
⇒ r2 = 22176 × (22/7)
⇒ r2 = 7056
⇒ r = 84
∴ Radius of the circular playground = 84 m
Now, circumference of the circle = 2πr
= 2×(22/7)×84
= 528 m
Cost of fencing 1 meter of ground = Rs 50
∴ Cost of fencing the total ground = Rs 528 × 50 = Rs 26,400
The diameter of front and rear wheels of a tractor are 80 cm and 2m, respectively. Find the number of revolutions that rear wheel will make in covering a distance in which the front wheel makes 1400 revolutions.
Diameter of front wheels = d1 = 80 cm
Diameter of rear wheels = d2 = 2 m = 200 cm
Let r1 be the radius of the front wheels = 80/2 = 40 cm
Let r2 be the radius of the rear wheels = 200/2 = 100 cm
Now, Circumference of the front wheels = 2πr
= 2 ×(22/7) × 40
= 1760/7 cm
Circumference of the rear wheels = 2πr = 2 × (22/7) × 100 = 4400/7 cm
No. of revolutions made by the front wheel = 1400
∴ Distance covered by the front wheel = 1400 × (1760/7) = 352000 cm
Number of revolutions made by rear wheel in covering a distance in which the front wheel makes 1400 revolutions =
=
= 560 revolutions.

Let B, C and H be the corners of the triangle on which buffalo, cow and horse are tied respectively with ropes of
7 m each.
So, the area grazed by each animal will be in the form of a sector.
∴ Radius of each sector = r = 7 m
Let x, y, z be the angles at corners B, C, H respectively.
∴ Area of sector with central angle x =
Area of sector with central angle y =
Area of sector with central angle z =
Area of field not grazed by the animals = Area of triangle – (area of the three sectors)

= 109.892 – 77 = 32.982 cm2
Find the area of the segment of a circle of radius 12 cm whose corresponding sector has a central angle of 60°. (use π = 3.14)
Radius of the circle = r = 12 cm
∴ OA = OB = 12 cm
∠ AOB = 60° (given)
Since triangle OAB is an isosceles triangle, ∴ ∠ OAB = ∠ OBA = θ (say)
Also, Sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°,
∴ θ + θ + 60° = 180°
⇒2θ = 120° ⇒ θ = 60°
Thus, the triangle AOB is an equilateral triangle.
∴ AB = OA = OB = 12 cm
Area of the triangle AOB = × a2 ,
where a is the side of the triangle.
× (12)2
= (√3/16) ×144
=
= 62.354 cm2
Now, Central angle of the sector AOBCA = = 60° = = (π/3) radians
Thus, area of the sector AOBCA =
= = 75.36 cm2
Now, Area of the segment ABCA = Area of the sector AOBCA – Area of the triangle AOB
= (75.36 – 62.354) cm2 = 13.006 cm2
A circular pond is 17.5 m is of diameter. It is surrounded by a 2m wide path. Find the cost of constructing the path at the rate of ` 25 per m2?
Diameter of the circular pond = 17.5 m
Let r be the radius of the park = (17.5/2) m = 8.75 m
Given that the circular pond is surrounded by a path of width 2 m.
So, Radius of the outer circle = R = (8.75+2) m = 10.75 m
Area of the road = Area of the outer circular path – Area of the circular pond
= πr2 – πR2
= 3.14 × (10.75)2 – 3.14 × (8.75)2
= 3.14 × ((10.75)2 – (8.75)2)
= 3.14 × ((10.75 + 8.75) × (10.75 – 8.75))
= 3.14 × 19.5 × 2 = 122.46 m2
Hence, the area of the path is 122.46 m2.
Now, Cost of constructing the path per m2 = Rs. 25
∴ cost of constructing 122.46m2 of the path = Rs. 25 × 122.46 = Rs. 3061.50
In figure, ABCD is a trapezium with AB||DC. AB = 18 cm, DC = 32 cm and distance between AB and DC = 14 cm. If arcs of equal radii 7 cm with centers A, B, C and D have been drawn, then find the area of the shaded region of the figure.
AB = 18 cm, DC = 32 cm
Distance between AB and DC = Height = 14 cm
Now, Area of the trapezium = (1/2) × (Sum of parallel sides) × Height
= (1/2) × (18+32) × 14 = 350cm2
As AB ∥ DC, ∴ ∠ A +∠ D = 180°
and ∠ B +∠ C = 180°
Also, radius of each arc = 7 cm
Therefore,
Area of the sector with central angle A = (1/2) × (∠A/180) × π × r2
Area of the sector with central angle D = (1/2) × (∠D/180) × π × r2
Area of the sector with central angle B (1/2) × (∠B/180) × π × r2
Area of the sector with central angle C = (1/2) × (∠C/180) × π × r2
Total area of the sectors =
= 77 + 77 = 154
∴ Area of shaded region = Area of trapezium – (Total area of sectors)
= 350 – 154 = 196 cm2
Hence, the required area of shaded region is 196 cm2.
Three circles each of radius 3.5 cm are drawn in such a way that each of them touches the other two. Find the area enclosed between these circles.
The three circles are drawn in such a way that each of them touches the other two.
So, by joining the centers of the three circles, we get,
AB = BC = CA = 2(Radius) = 7 cm
Therefore, triangle ABC is an equilateral triangle with each side 7 cm.
∴ Area of the triangle× a2
where a is the side of the triangle.
= 21.2176 cm2
Now, Central angle of each sector = = 60° (60π/180)
= π/3 radians
Thus, area of each sector = (1/2) r2θ
= (1/2) × (3.5)2 × (π/3)
=
= 6.4167 cm2
Total area of three sectors = 3 × 6.4167 = 19.25 cm2
∴ Area enclosed between three circles = Area of triangle ABC – Area of the three sectors
= 21.2176 – 19.25
= 1.9676 cm2
Hence, the required area enclosed between these circles is 1.967 cm2 (approx.).
Find the area of the sector of a circle of radius 5 cm, if the corresponding arc length is 3.5 cm.
Radius of the circle = r = 5 cm
Arc length of the sector = l = 3.5 cm
Let the central angle (in radians) be θ.
As, Arc length = Radius × Central angle (in radians)
∴ Central angle (θ) = Arc length / Radius = l / r = 3.5/5 = 0.7 radians
Now, Area of the sector = (1/2) × r2θ = (1/2) × 25 × 0.7 = 8.75 cm2
Hence, required area of the sector of a circle is 8.75 cm2.
Four circular cardboard pieces of radii 7 cm are placed on a paper in such a way that each piece touches other two pieces. Find the area of the portion enclosed between these pieces.
The four circles are placed in such a way that each piece touches the other two pieces.
So, by joining the centers of the circles by a line segment, we get a square ABDC with sides as,
AB = BD = DC = CA = 2(Radius) = 2(7) cm = 14 cm
Now, Area of the square = (Side)2 = (14)2 = 196 cm2
Since, ABDC is a square, ∴ each angle has a measure of 90°.
∴ ∠ A = ∠ B = ∠ D = ∠ C = 90° = π/2 radians = θ (say)
Also, Radius of each sector = 7 cm
Thus,
Area of the sector with central angle A = (1/2)r2θ
=
=
= (77/2) cm2
Since the central angles and the radius of each sector are same, therefore area of each sector is 77/2 cm2
∴ Area of the shaded portion = Area of square – Area of the four sectors
= 196 – 154
= 42 cm2
Hence, required area of the portion enclosed between these pieces is 42 cm2.
On a square cardboard sheet of area 784 cm2, four congruent circular plates of maximum size are placed such that each circular plate touches the other two plates and each side of the square sheet is tangent to two circular plates. Find the area of the square sheet not covered by the circular plates.
Since, Area of the square = 784 cm2
∴ Side of the square = √Area = √784 = 28 cm
Since the four circular plates are congruent, therefore diameter of each circular plate = 28/2 = 14 cm
∴ Radius of each circular plate = 7 cm
Area of the sheet not covered by plates =
Area of the square – Area of the four circular plates
Since all four circular plates are congruent, therefore area of all four plates will be equal.
∴ Are of one circular plate = πr2 = = 154 cm2
So, Area of four plates = 4×154 = 616 cm2
Area of the sheet not covered by plates = 784 – 616 = 168 cm2
Floor of a room is of dimensions 5m × 4m and it is covered with circular tiles of diameters 50 cm each as shown in figure. Find area of floor that remains uncovered with tiles. (use π = 3.14)
Length of the floor = l = 5 m
Breadth of the floor = b = 4 m
∴ Area of the floor = l × b = 5 × 4 = 20 m2
Now, Diameter of each circular tile = 50 cm
∴ Radius of each circular tile = r = 25 cm = 0.25 m
Area of one circular tile = πr2
= 3.14 × (0.25)2
= 0.19625 m2
Area of such 80 tiles = 80 × 0.19625
= 15.7 m2
Area of the floor that remains uncovered with tiles =
Area of the floor – Area of all 80 circular tiles
= 20 – 15.7 = 4.3 m2
Hence, the required area of floor that remains uncovered with tiles is 4.3 m2.
All the vertices of a rhombus lie on a circle. Find the area of the rhombus, if area of the circle is 1256 cm2. (use π = 3.14)
Are of the circle = 1256 cm2
Let r be the radius of the circle.
∴ Area = πr2⇒ 1256 = 3.14 × r2⇒ r2 = 1256/3.14 = 400
⇒ r = 20 cm
∴ Diameter of the circle = d = 2×20 = 40 cm
Since all the vertices of a rhombus lie on a circle, therefore the diagonals of the rhombus pass through the center of the circle and thus diagonals of the rhombus are equal to the diameter of the circle.
Let d1 and d2 be the diagonal of the rhombus.
Since, diagonals of a rhombus are equal, therefore d1 = d2 = d = 40 cm
Now, Area of the rhombus = (1/2) × d1 × d2
= (1/2) × 40 × 40 = 800 cm2
Hence, the required area of rhombus is 800 cm2.
An archery target has three regions formed by three concentric circles as shown in figure. If the diameters of the concentric circles are in the ratio 1:2:3, then find the ratio of the areas of three regions.
Diameters are in the ratio 1:2:3
So, let the diameters of the concentric circles be 2r, 4r and 6r.
∴ Radius of the circles be r, 2r, 3r respectively.
Now, Area of the outermost circle = π (Radius)2 = π (3r)2 = 9πr2
Area of the middle circle = π (Radius)2 = π (2r)2 = 4πr2
Area of the innermost circle = π (Radius)2 = π (r)2 = πr2
Now, Area of the middle region = Area of middle circle – Area of the innermost circle
= 4πr2 - πr2 = 3πr2
Now, Area of the outer region = Area of outermost circle – Area of the middle circle
= 9πr2 - 4πr2 = 5πr2
Required ratio = Area of inner circle: Area of the middle region: Area of the outer region
= πr2 : 3πr2 : 5πr2
⇒ Required Ratio is 1:3:5
The length of the minute hand of a clock is 5 cm. Find the area swept by the minute hand during the time period 6: 05 am and 6: 40 am.
Length of the minute hand = 5 cm = Radius of the clock
Minutes between the time period 6:05 am to 6:40 am = 35 minutes
In 60 minutes, the minute hand completes one revolution, i.e. 360°.
∴ Angle made by minute hand in 1 minute = 360°/60° = 60°
Thus angle made by minute hand in 35 minutes = 60° × 35 = 210°
Angle made by minute hand in 35 minutes (in radians) = θ = (210π/180)
∴ Area swept by minute hand in 35 minutes =
= 275/6
= 45.833 cm2
Hence, the required area swept by the minute land is 45.833 cm2
Area of a sector of central angle 200° of a circle is 770 cm2. Find the length of the corresponding arc of this sector.
Let r be the radius of the circle.
Given, Central angle = 200° = (200π/180) radians = θ (say)
Thus, Area of the sector = 770 cm2
⇒ 770 = (1/2)r2θ
= 9 ×49
⇒ r = 21 cm
Thus radius of the sector = 21 cm
Now, Length of the corresponding arc = Radius Central angle (in radians)
=
= 220/3 cm = 73.33 cm
Hence, the required length of the corresponding arc is 73.33 cm.
The central angles of two sectors of radii 7 cm and 21 cm are respectively 120° and 40°. Find the areas of the two sectors as well as the lengths of the corresponding arcs. What do you observe?
Radius of one sector = r1 = 7 cm
Radius of second sector = r2 = 21 cm
Central angle of one sector = 120°
Central angle of second sector = 40°
Central angle of one sector (in radians) = θ1 = (120π/180)
Central angle of second sector (in radians) = θ2 = (40π/180)
Area of first sector =
= =
154/3 = 51.33 cm2
Area of second sector =
=
= 154 cm2
Let the lengths of the corresponding arc be l1 and l2.
Now, arc length of first sector = Radius × Central Angle (in radians)
= = 44/3 cm
Now, arc length of second sector = Radius × Central Angle (in radians)
= = 44/3 cm
Hence, we observe that arc lengths of two sectors of two different circles may be equal but their area need not be equal.
Find the area of the shaded region given in figure.
Area of square ABCD = side2
= 142
= 196 cm2
As,
14 = 3 + r + 2r + r + 3
⇒ 14 = 6 + 4r
⇒ 14 – 6 = 4r
⇒ 8 = 4r
⇒ 2 cm = r

Area of semi-circle =
Area of 4 semicircles is:
=
Side of square = 2r
= 2(2)
= 4 cm
Area of square = side2= 42
= 16 cm2
From (1),
Area of the internal portion
Area of shaded region = Area of square ABCD - Area of the internal portion
= 154.85 cm2
Find the number of revolutions made by a circular wheel of area 1.54 m2 in rolling a distance of 176 m.
Let r be the radius of the circular wheel.
Area = 1.54 m2
∴πr2 = 1.54
= 0.49
⇒ r = 0.7 m
Thus, radius of the circular wheel = 0.7 m
Circumference of the wheel = 2πr = 2 × (22/7) × 0.7 = 4.4 m
Distance travelled by wheel in one revolution = Circumference of circular wheel = 4.4 m
Since, distance travelled by a circular wheel = 176 m
Total distance covered by the wheel = No. of revolutions made by wheel × (Distance
covered in one revolution)
∴ No. of revolutions made by wheel =
= 176/4.4
= 40
Hence, the required number of revolutions made by a circular wheel is 40.
Find the difference of the areas of two segments of a circle formed by a chord of length 5 cm subtending an angle of 90° at the center.
Length of the chord = 5 cm (Given)
Let r be the radius of the circle.
Then, OA = OB = r cm
Now, angle subtended at the center of the sector OABO = 90°
Angle subtended at the center of the sector OABO (in radians) = θ = π/2
∴ Triangle AOB is a right-angled triangle.
So, by Pythagoras theorem, (AB)2 = (OA)2 + (OB)2
⇒ 25 = 2r2
Also, AOB is an isosceles triangle.
Since, line segment OD is perpendicular on AB, therefore it divides Ab into two equal parts. Thus, AD = DB = 5/2 = 2.5 cm
Let AD = h cm
So, in right angled triangle AOD, by Pythagoras theorem,
(AO)2 = (AD)2 + (OD)2
= 25/4
⇒ h = 5/2 = 2.5 cm
∴ Area of the isosceles triangle AOB (1/2) × Base × Height
= (1/2) × 5 × (5/2) = 25/4 cm2
Now, Area of the minor sector = (1/2)r2θ
= = (25π/8) cm2
Area of the minor segment = Area of the minor sector – Area of the isosceles triangle
=
Area of the major segment = Area of the circle – Area of the minor segment
=
=
∴ Difference of the areas of two segments of a circle =
|Area of major segment – Area of minor segment|
Hence, the required difference of the areas of two segments is
Find the difference of the areas of a sector of angle 120° and its corresponding major sector of a circle of radius 21 cm.
Radius of the circle = r = 21 cm
Area of the circle
Central angle of the sector AOBA = 120°
Central angle of the sector AOBA (in radians) = θ (120π/180) = 2π/3
Now, area of the minor sector AOBA = (1/2)r2θ
= (1/2) × (21)2 × (2π/3)
= 462 cm2
Area of the major sector ABOA = Area of the circle – Area of the sector AOBA
= 1386 – 462 = 924 cm2
Now, Difference of the areas of a sector AOBA and its corresponding major sector ABOA
= |Area of major sector ABOA – Area of minor sector AOBA|
= |924-462| = 462 cm2
Hence, the required difference of two sectors is 462 cm2.
